We’re horseposting post your horses Not my horse but one of my all-time faves by Sarah Andersen of Sarah’s Scribbles and you deserve its cute lil face

4 panel comic by Sarah Andersen

Panel 1: a little octopus tells a horseshoe crab “Horseshoe crab, you are awesome!

Panel 2: offscreen, the octopus says “Never change!” blushing, the little horseshoe crab replies “I wont!”

250,000,000 YEARS LATER

Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is hanging out in the ocean looking exactly the same.

Panel 4: the horseshoe crab thinks “I may have taken that too literally” but it is still smiling pleasantly.

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute. You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that? That’s a story big enough to tell in person. youtu.be/_UimlaolxiA?...

Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevick’s Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters! That’s the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body. youtube.com/watch?v=RuN5HxSew7w

Dear people who design bathroom stalls, 1- please design the stalls with the doors swinging OUT rather than in 2- if you’re going to swing the doors in, the stall should at least be big enough for me ti enter the stall and close the door without my legs touching the toilet. That’s nasty. Thanks.
